Armpit hair on women, what's your opinion?

I have armpit hair, and I am a woman. I have had it for about two years now. I have never had a problem getting laid or anything like that. I have had negative feedback but I brush it off my shoulders pretty easily. I honestly don't get why people think it's gross. It naturally grows there. Shaving is a hassle and it can cause issues such as razor burn etc.

    I don't have a problem with it at all.

    I don't get the whole, "Women have to be smooth and hairless except for their eyebrows and their head." I mean, sure, if that's how you wanna roll, cool. But don't expect every woman to do so. That's just duumb. :D

    I'm not really bothered either way, but I probably find women who don't shave a bit more attractive, perhaps just because it's appealing that she's so comfortable with her natural self and is willing to reject social norms.

    I am a woman and sometimes I do grow my armpit hair, however if it grows out too much my pits feel more sweaty and tend to accumulate a stench. so, yeah it is pretty gross plus it looks nasty.

    Petty social norms that were orchestrated by razor companies advocating consumerism. All you sheeps are so sold to the idea of an 'ideal beauty', which stops you from appreciating the most beautiful part of a woman, her character.

    Visually, I think women are sexy with it. Shaving or not shaving armpits have nothing to do with hygiene anyway.

    Honestly. What's the issue? My hair shows me as a woman. It's not 'bushy', it's smooth, soft, silky and very fine... but it shows I'm actually a woman and not some child.
    Of course I like to shave occasionally and trim it down, whatever, but I've never really needed to (perhaps because I've only shaved it a few times in my life?) It's clean, I'M clean, and it doesn't smell bad.

    I don't think that armpit hair (or leg hair for that matter) are necessarily less attractive on women. In fact, on some women, I think it enhances their attractiveness. To me, because the amount of hair one possesses correlates directly with their hormonal levels (which animals and humans have used for well over thousands of years to pick suitable and complementary mates), hair removal seems a little bit like false advertising (aka pretending you have more feminine hormones/less masculine hormones than you actually have).

    Also, many women grow comparatively fine armpit hair and leg hair naturally, and shaving makes many o' women's hair grow back thicker and darker.
    I also don't think many of the photos of body hair on women on this opinion post have been the most representative. I know many women who haven't shaved in over a year that have much finer looking hair than that. If you'd like, I will post pictures.

    Furthermore, hairy legs and armpits are by no means an indicator of poor hygiene.

    I also don't like the negative comments about women with body hair being "third world". Why is it bad to be "third world"? I find that comment very classist and offensive, not to mention base. After all, is it worse to be this:

    To me, it is "ugly" and "gross" to call somebody "ugly" or "gross" because of such a superficial thing as body hair. You don't have to be attracted to them, but saying that they're "disgusting" indicates that you are ugly at a not-so-superficial level. Yes, it's an opinion piece, and I'm all for people expressing their opinions, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to hold anyone accountable for the opinion they express and judge them accordingly.
    So whether you shave your body hair or not, you can still be beautiful (superficially and not superficially). A woman that is proud of her body is always beautiful, and for me, personally, I think a woman is even more beautiful for not thinking she has to spend at least 10 bucks a month on hair-removal. That's not to blame those who do, of course, because there's a lot of pressure to do so, and I understand that many just prefer to have that feeling, or they just feel more attractive without the hair. Just don't go calling a person who doesn't remove their body hair "disgusting," or "unfeminine" without knowing that I will therefore think of you as unintelligent, vulgar and more than a little brainwashed by companies trying to make a profit off of you.

    I find armpit hair on women super hot! It's difficult to explain why, but it might be related to my preference for pubic hair. It makes sex more animalistic and wild, and I think it also confirms that a woman is really a woman and not some prepubescent girl. Having sex with a woman with a completely shaved vagina is just a bit uncomfortable.

    Just out of curiousity how do you "care for" your more southerly coif? I used to "date" a girl who let all her hair grow au natural. Her bush was so big that it stuck sideways out of her bikini bottom. I felt a little bit like the British explorer Stanley who spent years looking for Mr. Livingston (I presume). Now, I like it well trimmed as I keep myself as I see no need for the woman to suffer from hair induced coughing episodes.

    I dont like armpit hair on anyone...men included.....I used to weight lift and at competitions the guys not only shaved their pits but chests and backs also...much nicer than furry men
    heads and pubes are the only places for hair... stashes on guys are kinda ok as long as they are trimmed and CLEAN...no yesterdays soup

    I can’t see why it would be a problem, I mean a woman naturally has armpit hair, now if you want to have a female that is naturally hairless you will have to go out and look for some pretty extreme jail bait. I suspect that that is what it is really about though. Which also explains why it is impossible to stamp out child porn.

    It's just natural and only looks strange and gross because society, pornography and the media told you women have to shave. Apparently women have to look a certain way.

    I've seen it on women in real life, and it's gross, it like...hung down inches below the skin in a most unattractive way.
    I will agree with the shaving part of your argument, but that is why I paid money to have it permanently removed with laser treatments.
    Curious....if someone offered you free laser treatments to have it gone for ever, would you take them up on their offer?

    No, because I am happy with the way I look naturally. i am not trying to impress anybody. If someone doesn't like me or thinks i am gross because of my arm pit hair, then good riddance. It's crazy to me how many people on here are so closed minded, but i suppose it makes sense due to society.

    I don't know. I read every reply, and don't really get a feeling of people being "closed minded" about the issue.
    It's an opinion site after all, so if you ask a question, you are going to get opinions. =-)
    Some people think it's okay, and if that is what YOU want, then do it.
    Some people think it's a turn off, and that is okay too.
    Kudos on the question though, I've been here for over a year and don't believe I've ever seen it asked or discussed before.
